She could also approach the allied guard as he was interrogating the Templar.

Templar 2:That's all I know! I swear it!

Ally:Then you'll have to answer for your crimes.

The guard knocked out the Templar as Evie arrived.

Ally:You're one of Green's friends, aren't you? Thank heavens you've come. That Thorne woman has Templars everywhere, disguised as guards. I think I could pass as one of them long enough to sneak you inside. Except, the guards out here already know my face. You'd need to deal with them first. Meet me by the White Tower when you're ready.

After killing the Templars disguised as Royal Guards, Evie returned to the guard.

Ally:That's all for the men out here. What's next?

Evie:Ms. Thorne wants me captured. If she sees me in chains, she might let her guard down. Can you make it look convincing?

Ally:If we get too close, those Templars might realize I'm not one of theirs.

Evie:Then let's keep our distance.

Evie was brought to the White Tower.

Ally:I've caught the Assassin! Open the door! Inform Ms. Thorne I'm bringing in the Assassin!

The door was opened, and the guard escorted Evie inside.

Templars:I knew we'd draw you out.Nice to see an Assassin in chains for once!Ha! You got her! Good man!Ha ha! Look who we have here, lads!

Thorne:There must be something here.

The guard brought Evie before Thorne.

Ally:I found her wandering inside the walls, ma'am. Thought you'd want to speak with her.

Thorne:Welcome, Ms. Frye. Do you care to tell me where the Shroud is?

Evie remained silent.

Thorne:As you wish. I shall find it without your help. And then, I'll strangle you with it. Watch her closely.

Thorne turned her back to Evie.

Thorne:If you're here, you haven't found the Shroud either. By all means, let me know if there's more information you'd like to share. However, I suspect you don't have any.

Evie assassinating Thorne

Pushing away the Templar next to her, Evie dodged Thorne as she attacked with a candlestick, before stabbing her nemesis in the neck with a cane-sword. Evie then took the key from her.

Thorne:So, you have murdered me after all. But what good will that do you? The Shroud isn't here.

Evie:You sought a tool of healing in order to extend your own power!

Thorne:Not mine, ours. You are so short-sighted. You'd hoard power and never use it, when we would better the condition of humanity. I hope you never find the Shroud. You have no idea what it truly can do.

Evie:Tell me, then.

Thorne:No.

Evie escaping

Thorne died and Evie smeared her handkerchief with her victim's blood.

Ally:You'd better go. We can finish the rest of them.

The guards killed the remaining Templars. If Evie had led the constable and his men into the White Tower, the situation would be different.

Miller:I need to sound the alarm. You'd best get yourself away before I do. I'll hold off as long as I can.Hold on, lads. We can wait a bit longer.It'll be my job if I hold off much longer.

Guard:You'd best sound the alarm, then.

Starrick dictating the letter

Evie escaped the Tower of London by boarding the boat she had arrived on. She then inspected the key. Back in his office, Starrick had his butler write a letter.

Starrick:Take this down. Then I want it sealed until you receive further orders. "Ms. Thorne. You supplied me with the means to secure London's future. The city thanks you. The Order thanks you. I thank you. But the Shroud can only be worn by one. Therefore, I hereby dissolve this partnership. I promise to endow you with an income into your old age, but that is the most I can do. May the Father of Understanding guide you."

Another servant entered.

Starrick:Yes, what is it?

Servant:Ms. Thorne, sir...

Starrick:What of her?

Servant:I'm sorry, sir. She is dead.

Starrick:And the key? Where is the key?!

Servant:There was no key found on her body, sir.

Starrick dismissed the servant and slammed his fist into his table.

Starrick:ARGH! The Shroud will be mine, even if I have to raise hellfire to do it. Burn the letter.
